Miss F Reconnecting With Her Body

Why did you book a boudoir session? What’s your story?

I had gained some weight during the pandemic, and was feeling disconnected from myself and unable to appreciate my physical beauty when it came to my body.

Going into the shoot, were you worried about anything?

My worries were rooted in my body dysmorphia, which I'm sure is true for others too! I was scared I'd look like a fool imitating sex appeal instead of embodying it.

Looking back on the planning process, do you feel like you were given adequate information and references to help you prepare for your shoot?

Definitely! All the information beforehand helped me to know what to expect. And the most helpful part from step 0 onwards was looking at the photos of other gorgeous clients. Being able to see how all these people looked amazing as well as the variety in mood and theme helped me understand what I wanted. Ultimately, I decided on a classic vintage inspired shoot. I love a bold red lip and felt my best day of!

What is the number one reason you would recommend doing a shoot with me over any of the other photographers out there?

Hannah understands. That's the most succinct way of putting it. She's someone who clearly has put a lot of thought into this process and making sure everyone is as comfortable as possible. As a plus sized woman, you also were able to give me a boudoir experience that was beyond what I ever envisioned for myself. No awkward poses or not understanding a variety of bodies. Hannah knows what's she's doing, and has a wide array of experience doing it!

What was your favorite part of your session?

My favorite part was probably Hannah's excitement. Her energy was amazing. She was showering me in compliments while we shot, and that really helped keep me focused. I also loved being able to bring my own little details to personalize some of the photos. Hannah went with me when I had the hairbrained idea of smoking - inspired photos, and she went with that on the fly prompt and made some of the most iconic images of the shoot (hard to say though since they're all great)

Would you have another boudoir shoot with me in the future?

Absolutely I would! If I went through another major shift or change in relation to my body I know it'd be a good experience for creating awe and appreciation for myself. As well as, you can't go wrong getting some photos done for romantic reasons, engagement, wedding, anniversary, etc.

What changes have you noticed in yourself after your photo shoot with me?

I've noticed that I have a new appreciation for my own sex appeal. I've long felt like somewhat of an awkward duckling, built super tall and large, but seeing these images helps see the way my wonderful partner sees me. Having my girl friends see these photos was another great mood boost. Mostly I'm just gentler with myself. I understand a little better that I do have conventional sex appeal when I want to!! And the metal photo in my bedroom looks at me as I get ready, and I feel like I borrow vixen energy from that picture as needed. That hottie on the wall ain't a stock photo, that's ME!!!

Would you like to add anything else about your experience?

Just another wholehearted recommendation to book if you can!!! You absolutely will not regret it ❤️
